Veterans Project your life into the future!


A special “THANK YOU” to all of our service members and veterans. We understand, and appreciate, the sacrifices that military members and veterans make in service to our nation.  PMI is committed to doing all we can to support and assist service members and veterans interested in the Project Management profession.

For this reason, the PMI Memphis Chapter has created a volunteer military liaison position.  That role is focused solely on providing support, outreach, and other forms of assistance to military members and veterans who are Chapter members, considering becoming Chapter members, or joining the Project Management profession in general.

While the position is relatively new, we are working diligently to expand the scope of support we are able to provide.

As Director, Military Relations, on behalf of the PMI Memphis Chapter, I am honored to be your primary point of entry for questions, requests, and feedback for military and veteran programs. Many of the Chapter’s members have served.  We have a diverse core of experience that can assist you in achieving your project management goals, whatever they may be.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with your questions, requests, and especially your feedback on how we can improve our outreach services.

Again, thank you for your service. I am here to ensure your time and involvement with the PMI Memphis Chapter are both rewarding and fulfilling.

Together, we can!
